Listen in on the story of Ruth Leysa Santiago. She is a Top Plus Latina Fashion Model currently represented by Dorothy Combs Models. She’s a wife, mother and a woman of God. She’s the founder and CEO of Viva la Chica, a girl empowerment program designed to improve self esteem and confidence while reinforcing good physical, mental and social skills and Viva la Kurvy, a motivational and educational event specifically catered to women with curves. She also owns a boutique online store called Kurvas Shop where she encourages women to dress with the message of Self Love. We tackle where her identity comes from when the industry and social media send messages of not being enough. We sort through our thoughts on the body positivity and female empowerment movements. We discuss how her programs serve to encourage and influence young ladies and adult women alike to love themselves from the inside out, starting with her own daughter. And how her faith powers it all!
